Sky News host Alan Jones says it is clear now Sweden and Taiwan got it right in their coronavirus response, by looking after the vulnerable and elderly, practicing good hygiene but at the same time "letting the rest get on with their lives". Mr Jones said prestigious academics have suggested COVID-19 would have made little difference in the world had it not been noticed in the first place.
Mr Jones noted the words of Stanford Professor John Ioannidis who wrote, “If we had not known about a new virus out there, and had not checked individuals with PCR tests, the number of total deaths due to "influenza like illness" would not seem unusual this year.” Mr Jones spoke with the Australian’s Adam Creighton about the matter.
